Jerilyn Flowers participated in a contest we had on our Jasper Pickens County GA site back last spring and won the contest with this picture below. She has now put together a calendar of pictures from the Twelve Stone Farm and is offering this calendar for sale. The pictures are beautiful and frameable and the calendar is only $20.00 and benefits the Farm’s Infrastructure. Check out the information below and buy a 2012 Calendar from Jerilyn, it’s going to a great cause.

Hello,

My name is Jerilyn Flowers and I have been living here at Twelve Stone Farm non profit horse rescue as a volunteer for a year now.

I have created a 2012 calendar as a fundraiser and would love for you to help me and the farm by purchasing one.

The photos are all mine and frameable. I am financing the printing and publishing myself.

The proceeds will go towards Farm infrastructure. The calendar is $20.

Please contact me if you would like to purchase one. We would appreciate it very much.

Mark your calendar for an evening of feel good fundraising benefitting Pickens Animal Rescue (PAR). The fifth annual Pickens Fur Ball will be at the Chattahoochee Technical College on Burnt Mountain Road on November 5, 2011 from 6:30 to 10:30 PM.

Come enjoy the exquisite cuisine of Coast2Coast Catering (owned by the founders of Madeline’s Restaurant). The menu includes Gerard Salad, Fig and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast, Four Cheese Tortellini in Pumpkin Sauce, Trilogy of Vegetable Bundles, Artisnal Breads with complimentary beverages and a phenomenal cake sculpture from Dough Boys Cakes for dessert.

You can also get an early start on your Holiday shopping by bidding on over 75 donated items, or bid on a week at a vacation getaway at the Silent Auction. Take a chance on winning a jackpot in the Heads and Tails Bead Game and get your portrait taken by professional photographer, Alvin Stewart. Dress up or come business casual and join your animal loving friends and neighbors in learning about the amazing rescue work PAR staff and volunteers do every day for needy Pickens homeless pets. See pictures of happy pets and their new owners as they begin their new lives together as well as pets still waiting for that special someone to take them to their forever homes. Then, finish off the night with dancing and be entertained by DJ Jesse Giles.

100% of your ticket purchase and silent auction bids supports the work at PAR. PAR provides both a spay/neutering assistance program for families with financial needs and complete pet care that includes vaccinations, worming, flea/tick treatment, AVID microchips, and spay/neutering for all the dogs and cats that stay at the PAR Ranch waiting for foster or forever homes. Equally important is the joy and enrichment PAR is able to give to families, seniors, people living alone, disabled individuals and children by matching them with a new four legged family member that will give them laughter, love, and companionship.
